That implies a nonlinearity that non-books may handle better. Books (tomes) are better at that than scrolls because of flippy pages and indices, but hypertext was built for deep references, as just one example of better than books.
AlphaGo had an artificial neural network that was specifically trained in best moves and winning percentages. An LLM trained on text has some data on what constitutes winning at go, but internally doesn't have a ANN specifically for the game of go.
Yes it is. If they had written “if you’re posting about hamburgers you need to reevaluate your life” that would be a post expressing their opinion about hamburgers.
My mental model is a small recession becomes a big one when the borrowers fail to meet their obligations. I'm not sure how this depends causally on interest rates unless the Fed raised rates to cause a recession.
Entitled is a strong word, eligible is maybe more precise.
Far more reasonable explanation is that the addressable market for Windows and iOS is much larger and more lucrative - iOS exploits go for six figures whereas Linux exploits don’t generally go for as much. And exploits for Chrome and Safari go for a lot for similar reasons. No piece of software is likely to really be safe from a super determined and well funded adversary, and that’s why you need ways of structuring things (eg VMs, containers, peer ssl etc) to make things safer.

If Linux had anywhere near the market share of those OSes you would see much more publicly the problems of how Debian and other distros choose to maintain those OSes.
Where I feel that breaks down while probably leet code would be faster. But high quality code tends to have checks to make sure operations are safe. So you got branches anyways in real code.

My point is, if you live to be 80, you won't be any less likely to get Alzheimers if you're rich. So there's not really a correlation between 90 year olds walking around NYC dementia-free and the fact that they're wealthy enough to live to 90.

I lived a couple years in a working class farm town in Spain where the old people were mostly not wealthy by but were really physically fit and mentally sharp. I think it was due to them having constant social interaction, every day walking around the plazas talking with their elderly friends. Some of these people were living alone in their mid-90s, and their diet mostly consisted of fried sardines, pork, olives, and cheap local wine. So living a good full life may be better protection against the ravages of dementia than living a wealthy one.
Every satellite imaging company knows where they are.
Plastics were really only introduced ~1950 and usage/production has been increasing since, which means that we'll only know the lifetime effects of current exposure levels 80 some years from now. Human lifespan statistics are currently based on people born before 1950.

> Is it fair to say that the chip contains the content of the travel document at the time it was issued

Yes to expiration date and number (although afaik it does vary because each country may include or exclude certain information), but in general no, because even if you have a visa issued to you at the time of a passport being issued (like at the time of a passport renewal), the chip will not have that information. The chip information is basically just proving who you are, but doesn’t have any info on where you are permitted to go (other than permissions implied by your characteristics like nationality). That information is stored elsewhere, like in the passport pages or a country’s internal immigration records.

>> but the core benefit is that the same code should work on multiple different hardware devices.

I came here to say this. Attractions act as a bridge between things which allow those things to change independently.

Using an ORM allows my program to easily work against multiple sql databases. Using a compiler allows me to target different hardware. Using standard protocols allows me to communicate with different programs. Using libraries to do say email hides me from those protocols and allows me to adapt to service providers Using APIs not protocols.

In other words the abstraction is designed to hide a layer (which can change) from a program not interested in that level of change.

The key is to stop abstracting when the program cares. By all means encapsulate rules and processes, but they're a direct implementation of those rules and processes.

One can argue my "calculateLeaveForEmployee" function is an "abstraction" - but that would be a misnomer. Since there's only one set of rules in play (the set that matters now) its an implementation. An abstraction supports (at least) two things at the same time.
“The purpose of abstraction is not to be vague, but to create a new semantic level in which one can be absolutely precise.” — Edsger Dijkstra

But sometimes a new semantic level isn’t needed. Abstraction gets so much press when you might just need some good ol’ fashioned information hiding and separation of concerns.

Permissionless. A Manifesto for the Future of Everything
... we're entering an era where Permission-based institutions are failing to solve mounting challenges. Climate change, failing healthcare systems, broken education – these problems won't be solved by people seeking permission from the very institutions that failed to prevent them.

Progress requires people willing to demonstrate solutions without waiting for institutional approval. It needs innovators who understand that permission is often more damaging than the risks it's meant to prevent. It demands builders who can create systems that make Permission-based gatekeepers optional rather than essential.

> It's meaningful to a bored police officer in a less-than-democratic country who has nothing better to do than make my life annoying.

I've found that money is more meaningful than anything else to those bored officers. Either they don't actually care that much about your documents, or if they do, they're simply looking for a bribe. At least that's been my experience at out of the way border crossings in southern Africa.

The most ridiculous experience I had was crossing into Zimbabwe with my 11 year old son. The officer wanted to see his birth certificate, which was still in the car that had already been driven across the border. So I had to leave the building, walk across the border, which nobody batted an eye at, get the document, walk back across the border, re-enter the building, and then present the document to the officer who didn't even look at it before letting me proceed to leave the building and walk across the border once again.

Do you have any articles/resources for someone to read more about this? I've only been hearing praise for Apple's chip strategy/designs lately, and I'm not up to speed on what you're referring to. I'd love to learn more about a different perspective.
that description does not disagree with me.

It was developed by people fully aware of what orthogonality is, and understanding of why orthogonality is desirable. The fact that it is not perfect is indicative of the complexity of psychology and the bluntness of our tools. There is no system that is more orthogonal that explains near as much (I qualify it that way because dead vs alive is simple and pure but of little explanatory power).

We have nothing better than the Big Five (there are proposed refinements but they are not yet generally accepted), and it is better than what came before. The Big Five separates variables that used to be mixed, and can't yet explain the unexplained, but neither can any other system.
Money and maturity seem entirely uncorrelated.
Nothing special about the wheat, it's the amount Americans are eating that is the problem.

When I lived in Asia I was amazed how skinny everyone was! Most people ate street vendor food which was mostly carbs and very little vegetables or protein.

The answer was...portion sizes! Even manual labor workers ate a lunch that was maybe 500 kcal. Total daily caloric intake rarely went over 2,000. While Americans average 3,600.
this reminds me of stackoverflow's vertical scaling with a fail over server.

drastically simplifies scaling when you are dealing with only one machine with huge amount of RAM and maximum cores.

I think the most you can get now is 192x2 cores and double digit TB of RAM

but more economical is proably 128x2 cores with single digit TB of RAM

its pretty insane how much traffic you can throw at a single machine like this espeically if you use optimized languages like Go or Rust to handle traffic.

there's still use for distributed computing but 99.8% of websites do not really need it.
I was chatting with an elderly friend one day, and a housefly buzzed by. He casually snatched it out of the air and crushed it.

I was amazed. Howinell did he snatch a fly out of the air?

He replied that he spent a couple years in a bed in the hospital recovering from war wounds, with nothing to do. So he practiced catching flies.

Yes, Minecraft gets more and more data-driven, but for adding completely new features like, a solar system with planets, or turning the player into a robot of something, you'll have to edit some of the built in code.

This Mixin library is very useful, since it allows different mods to edit different parts of the same code without interfering for example.

It's also very easy to use compared to jvm bytecode manipulation, you just write a normal java function and put an annotation on it, and boom, now it runs right before line X inside of class Y, at runtime !
Is there any way to make the font chooser usable? It packs a bewildering number of fonts into a tiny area, making it very hard to preview and choose one.

solving PhD level problems != producing new lines of research. PhDs are typically given problems their advisors know are solvable but difficult and might contribute in some way to a larger scope of research the PhD doesn’t yet understand or hasn’t earned the “right” to explore on their own. And phds do frequently do their own research exploration, but that doesn’t involve solving these kinds of “PhD-level” problems which just means having the knowledge about the techniques available and creativity in applying to solving them (as evidenced by the poster noting how they could solve some of these on their own fairly quickly).

I don’t see how my position is so exceptionally strong. I’m saying indeed there’s a 55-70% probability that this happens in the 1-10 year time frame. At 1-20 it goes up to 70-90%. It’s still important to leave room for doubt that we might miss something or be unable to build something for a long time. Trying to state otherwise seems like an even stronger position to take to me.

> In case of a massive breach, it’s more likely that everyone will have to get a new passport and re-prove their identity for that using separate means.

If you have a big family with the ownership of many assets - a car, house or an apartment, bank accounts, mortgage, various subsidies, and so on, the number of instances that you need to go to change your old passport data to a new one could quickly grow up to one hundred, depending on a country. The biggest problem with reissuing a passport is that its number and issuance date change, forcing you to jump through many hoops to continue life as before.
you are 100% right in theory. in practice the car is the computer. when my 2014 tesla s rebooted while I was going like 85mph on the highway it is a moment I’ll never forget. the car is running but everything is dead, quiet, have no idea what the speed is, all systems are shut down, a/c is out (I was in the middle of a desert in Utah)… EVERYTHING feels wrong and every instinct you have tells you to pull over immediately. no chance I would drive any distance other than maybe a quick 1-mile radius errand in that state of the car
Oh! Maybe it was FM. I always thought it was on the same band as the "Tune AM <whatever> for traffic information signs" but as you say outside the audible frequencies. Regardless the point is that the relevant information can be broadcast publicly and does not require location or cellular connectivity to function. My 2010 BMW knew about traffic jams but had no cellular connectivity to my knowledge.
> In fall of 2023, for example, without consulting or informing the editors, Elsevier initiated the use of AI during production, creating article proofs devoid of capitalization of all proper nouns (e.g., formally recognized epochs, site names, countries, cities, genera, etc.) as well italics for genera and species. These AI changes reversed the accepted versions of papers that had already been properly formatted by the handling editors. This was highly embarrassing for the journal and resolution took six months and was achieved only through the persistent efforts of the editors. AI processing continues to be used and regularly reformats submitted manuscripts to change meaning and formatting and require extensive author and editor oversight during proof stage

I was the removal of proper nouns some sort of AI safety mechanism?
HDMI provides power - that's how old chromecasts can work without a separate power plug.

The comment about NPNs and PNPs is garbage, but there is a design fault with the board - it shouldn't allow HDMI power to flow backwards into the motherboard when the motherboard shuts off. That would likely cause a power rail sequencing issue on the board or SSD, leading to latch-up of various ICs, and non-detection on the SSD on the flowing bootup

There was an anecdote shared on HN of someone claiming to be ethically employed by the military to develop a system for planes to automatically land on unmarked runways without engine power.

They didn't tell her the planes were elongated spherical and filled with powerful explosives and the runways weren't flat - at least not before the plane landed on them.

Slashdot is at least part of the same haplogroup, if not a close cousin.
our society(s) have conducted two (three?) experiments at once, and it's not easy to separate the confounding factors. We spend less time with our relatives. We have drastically smaller families/fewer relatives. We move great distances and go out of touch with not only our families, but also our former friends.

We also more drastically sort ourselves than before by some notions of class like "what you majored in" at "what tier of institution" and "stayed in academia" or "went into industry" etc.

moving to live near friends is probably helpful but not a panacea; nor are we going to do it so...

there will be a shortage at that compensation range, which they can solve with higher cash and amplify with shares and a competitively short cliff like Meta and others have, of 3 months or less.
Ok but how is this failure mode unique to an EV? Modern ICE cars are highly reliant on computers as well. Maybe even more than EVs since they have transmissions and timing and fuel injection and exhaust monitoring.
I would personally claim to be a short sleeper. Without any testing to back it up, however. I regularly sleep from 2am to 6am, and have pretty consistently for 25 years or so. It was worse in high school. 12am-2:30am, but that was heavily influenced by gaming and came with some evident drawbacks.

If I were to make any guesses surrounding my personal experience, I would assume that I fall into REM remarkably fast. When I lay down I'm usually out and in a deep sleep within 15 minutes. To the ire of my family, as I'm a heavy snorer. When I wake I'm very quick to being fully alert and I typically don't nap.
